Its website is where those who don't have insurance will go to get covered come Tuesday; however, when you go to the site on Oct. 1 and compare plans, you won't be able to buy one there. You'll instead be referred to an insurance agent, according to Amy Fauver, spokeswoman for Cover Oregon.

Oregon is limiting purchasing power through its website to insurance agents and community groups who have received training. It'll be that way for several weeks so Cover Oregon can work out any computer bugs.

"It's been our plan for the last couple of months," Fauver said. "It wasn't one glitch that came up that made us go to this. It was really, we looked at the user testing that we were doing, the amount of time we had to roll things out, and we thought that we wanted to make sure that everyone who comes to coveroregon.com has a really positive experience."

"The reality is we have been preparing for this day for a really long time. We've stress-tested the system," said Michael Marchand, spokesman for Washington's exchange.

But the folks at Cover Oregon think they are doing the prudent thing by waiting to see if there are bugs before going public.

There is no hurry to register Tuesday. You have until mid-December to sign up for Obamacare in either state to have coverage that kicks in the first of the year. There's plenty of time to do research on which plan fits your needs.
